Altamira Hansen Workshop Torres 1888 'Sitka / Maple' Classical Guitar

The Altamira Hansen Workshop Torres 1888 Classical Guitar is a faithful tribute to one of the most influential luthiers in history—Antonio de Torres. Built entirely by hand in Altamira’s exclusive Hansen Workshop, this instrument is a modern homage to Torres’ 1888 model SE114, which helped define the classical guitar as we know it today. With its Sitka spruce top and gorgeously figured maple back and sides, this guitar captures the clarity, balance, and tonal warmth of Torres' original designs, delivering an elegant sound that suits both solo performance and expressive classical repertoire.

Crafted using the traditional fan bracing method pioneered by Torres himself, the Torres 1888 model boasts immediate response and a wide tonal palette. Every detail, from the refined inlay work to the maple tonewood selection, has been executed with precision and care. Designed for discerning classical guitarists, this model not only looks and sounds exceptional but feels alive in your hands. It includes a deluxe hardshell case and reflects the highest standards of Altamira’s custom luthiery tradition.
